SSL Certificate - follow up

This is the response I received from sales@magix.net. .... All our hosting services and applications supplied by MAGIX and XARA are "cookie-free". Our hosting packages are specially adapted to the needs of the MAGIX/XARA Web Designer and XARA Designer Pro products. This means that we do not offer HTTPS or SSL standards for hosting.... So I guess that leaves me no other option than to move to a different hosting platform. I hope this is simply a matter of uploading the site to a new hosting platform, and getting the new hosting service to install an SSL certificate for me. But is it? My website was created in Xara web designer premium. It includes Widgets (from the content catalog). It also includes YouTube movies and a Google Analytics link. Can you tell me if it will be as simple as that? Also, what should I look for when searching for a hosting service? Thanks

Hi

The answer to most of the questions you have asked should be in the future hosting provider's FAQ or 'How to' guides to help you move from http to https

There are several ways to do this, ranging from a quick change of a URL, through to potentially time-consuming rewriting every URL link you have in the site and re-uploading.
